Run Your Cables on Top of the Cabinets

We’ve all lived in the past, and perhaps still are, when the network cables were run below the floor and into the bottom of the cabinet. However, this system significantly restricts the under-floor airflow where there is a lot of cabling. In consequence, an uneven amount of air would be released into each cabinet. We all know that network cabling runs and cabling changes occur much more frequently than we’d like, and definitely more often than power cabling, so it only makes sense that we run the network cables over the cabinets instead of underneath. This will make it easier to access, drop, run, pull, and trace cables when changes need to be made. And as was mentioned, you’ll also create a much more even distribution of the cool air throughout the server room. That means your air conditioner will need to run less, saving your organization money
